After artisan pencil sharpening, banking, donuts, and whatever that Prospect Heights store is selling that I can't remember offhand, I think "artisan" is probably going to become an "off-limits" term if you want to be taken seriously. Though this market does sound awesome.

This pop-up has now closed and has been replaced by a pop-up store that sells sparkly tiny outfits, and large feather head wear for the 2012 West Indian Day Carnival.

Passed by the new pop up store last night and couldn't look away....even witthe outfits on mannequins, not people.

yes, there is something about the outfits that make them far better than mere bikinis.
